Yes, 2014! It's time to start the discussion about what the team ironman will be next year so people can plan ahead and be ready for registration. Below is a list of the north america ironmans plus brazil. Please post your preference(s) so we can get to planning! Thanks!!

Ironman Texas - mid May (The Woodlands, Texas)Ironman Brazil - end of May (Florianopolis Island, Brazil)Ironman Coeur d'Alene - mid/end June (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho)Ironman Lake Placid - end of July (Lake Placid, New York)Ironman Mont Tremblant - mid August (Quebec, Canada)Ironman Canada - end of August (Whistler, British Columbia, Canada)Ironman Louisville - end of August (Louisville, Kentucky)Ironman Wisconsin - early September (Madison, Wisconsin)Ironman Lake Tahoe - end of September (Lake Tahoe, California)Ironman Florida - early November (Panama City Beach, Florida)Ironman Arizona - mid November (Tempe, Arizona)

I'm totally on the fence. I'm not even sure I could get through a Sprint, actually I know I couldn't get through a Sprint Tri right now. That said if I was to race Ironman in 2014 it would more than likely be back at IMLP.

IM Texas would be good to get in, nice and early. Ironman Cozumel isn't on the listing, and would certainly be a good, post-Thanksgiving, Pre-Christmas race, in a nice setting.Or, maybe i'll be babysitting for the Albrechts that year.

May in general is too early for us since that's peak kid activity season - ideally anything July or later I could probably be talked into... but a nice beach would be a bonus, and a later race would enable folks to split up their season - could potentially have 2 team races - May and Oct/Nov?

I am doing Louisville this year for my first one. If I survive I would be up for doing another one anywhere where it is warm.

I have friends who own a cabin in Tahoe. We may be able to rent it out as a Team House.

As a side note. I could not get into Forida last fall. It filled up on me within three minutes as I was sitting at the computer hitting the refresh button. I heard they had a large amount of volunteers and returning athletes who took all the spots.
